What Is Especially Striking And Remarkable Is That In Fundamental Physics, A Beautiful Or Elegant Theory Is More Likely To Be Right Than A Theory That Is Inelegant. A Theory Appears To Be Beautiful Or Elegant (or Simple, If You Prefer) When It Can Be Expressed Concisely In Terms Of Mathematics We Already Have. Symmetry Exhibits The Simplicity. The Foundamental Law Is Such That The Different Skins Of The Onion Resemble One Another And Therefore The Math For One Skin Allows You To Express Beautifully And Simply The Phenomenon Of The Next Skin.

Three Principles - The Conformability Of Nature To Herself, The Applicability Of The Criterion Of Simplicity, And The Utility Of Certain Parts Of Mathematics In Describing Physical Reality - Are Thus Consequences Of The Underlying Law Of The Elementary Particles And Their Interactions. Those Three Principles Need Not Be Assumed As Separate Metaphysical Postulates. Instead, They Are Emergent Properties Of The Fundamental Laws Of Physics.
